Preparing to Become an Eternal Companion - 23 January 2011

To Our Dear Beehives, Mia Maids and Laurels:

You know who you are, where you come from and your potential.  I pray that the choices you make every day reflect that knowledge and a desire to be with Our Father in Heaven again, at the side of your eternal companion.  Here's to temple worthiness.  Here's to the journey.  Here's to time and all eternity.  Here's to being the woman you were destined to become.

Prepare yourselves.  Don't wait to start.  Temple worthiness is one of the most important things we strive for; it is part of putting the kingdom of God first.  You and your eternal companion will make and keep sacred covenants, and I hope to be there with you, You and your husband will start with four walls, a roof, a door and some windows.  Will you, in your very own way, turn it into a place of spiritual strength for you and your family?  Will you turn it into the place your missionary sons and daughters lovingly recall to the people they meet?

I love you so much
